Answer 2

Refer this link. It shows how to add "Done" button in key board.
But I would suggest you to use inputAccessoryView instead. Refer this SO post.

Answer 3

You can add inputAccessoryView with 'Apply' and 'Cancel' buttons, and dismiss the number pad with then.
inputAccessoryView
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIToolbar* numberToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 50)];
numberToolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;
numberToolbar.items = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:#"Cancel" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(cancelNumberPad)],
[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil],
[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:#"Apply" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:#selector(doneWithNumberPad)],
nil];
[numberToolbar sizeToFit];
numberTextField.inputAccessoryView = numberToolbar;
}
-(void)cancelNumberPad{
[numberTextField resignFirstResponder];
numberTextField.text = #"";
}
-(void)doneWithNumberPad{
NSString *numberFromTheKeyboard = numberTextField.text;
[numberTextField resignFirstResponder];
}

Answer 4

Without using done button you can also hide numeric keyboard this way by touching anywhere on the view
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
[yourtextfieldname resignFirstResponder];
}
